Sunlit Strings

Drip, drip, the night is calling...

Blue-green sparks, the rain is falling...

Another night, another fight,

Another storm without a light...

I walk alone beneath the streetlights,

With electricity running through my veins,

I've spent my life chasing the thunder,

Trying to drown out all the pain.

They made me into something dangerous,

A broken wire they couldn't tame,

Now every mirror shows a stranger,

And I don't even know her name.

And oh, the sky is turning grey,

I've got a thousand words I cannot say,

If I could stop

these sparks from flying,

Maybe I'd stop feeling like I'm dying...

On these electrical rainy nights,

I'm chasing shadows underneath the lights,

My heart's a thunderstorm I can't control,

A million volts running through my soul.

Oh, let the rain wash over me,

Let me be who I was meant to be,

I'm tired of fighting,

tired of the lies,

Just let me breathe beneath these rainy skies.

On these electrical rainy nights...

Maybe I'll be alright.

I've got a temper like a lightning strike,

And a thousand reasons not to trust,

Every promise turned to ashes,

Every dream reduced to dust.

They say I'm trouble,

say I'm reckless,

Say there's nothing left to save,

But they never heard the silence

Of a heart that learned to hate.

I don't need another battle,

I don't need another crown,

I just want a quiet evening Where the world won't bring me

down. And oh, can anybody hear

The little voice beneath the fear?

I'm more than all this rage inside me,

There's got to be a life beyond the fighting...

What if I put my weapons down?

What if I don't have to wear this crown?

What if the girl beneath the sparks Could find a home beyond

the dark? I never asked to be this way,

Never asked for yesterday,

But if tomorrow's mine to choose,

Maybe there's still a life to lose—

No...

a life to live.

Maybe there's still a chance to give.

On these electrical rainy nights,

I'm finally looking past the flashing lights,

My heart still shakes,

but I'm holding on,

Maybe the storm won't last too long.

Oh, let the rain fall over me,

There's more to life than electricity,

I'm done with running,

done with disguise, I see a little hope in these rainy skies.

On

these electrical rainy nights,

Maybe I'll find a softer light.
